Tri-Hosting a Maker Magic 2026 event next month. Where aim going to talk about taking an idea or gimmick all the way to a completed #geocache.

I hid a regular sized bison tube this weekend. #Geocaching
New placement, awaiting approval still, but a revision to my Pull the Perch design with more internal space and easier assembly and operation. (GCB9WCC) #geocaching #geocaching #3dprinting
Getting the full page spread in this month's #FTFMagazine @matthewrine.com, nice!
Anyone who likes geocaching trackables should probably check my Linktree.
I've been prototyping some new lids after being inspired while at #geowoodstock. To absolutely toot my own horn, I love how quickly I can build a gadget or fun #geocache on this platform.
It's been a wild day, and there's still more to be had!
A Geocache or a trackable?

I made a #GadgetCache #geocache group on #Lilypad if anyone's interested.

Looks like #Lilypad has a benefit of acting as a beacon for solo #geocachers. Share your location while on a remote or risky hunt so if the worst happens people can find you. One of the most dangerous parts of #geocaching is purposely putting yourself in hidden spaces and places while searching.
Checking out the new app from #Groundspeak for #Geocaching communication, #Lilypad. Still kind of a ghost town, but I think it was only really publicized a few minutes ago, so that's a fair shake.
Tis the (#Geocaching) Season! Prepping some things for one hell of a good 2025, geocachingly speaking.
Prepping for my "Intro to #Geocaching" class tomorrow, building out the swag kits for attendees and modifying my presentation to include the new collectibles aspect.
Braille Gadget #Geocache Lid
Published my completed Braille #GadgetGeocache, built on my #GadgetLid platform. The original idea came from the crew over at #GadgetTalk and I went through a couple of revisions to make it customizable and a little easier to work with. #Geocaching
Cooking up something good, watch my @printables.bsky.social and @makerworld.bsky.social (@AGGC on both) to see it soon. #Geocaching
Glad you liked it that's one of mine!
I was talking #GadgetLids and #GadgetCaches on tonight's episode of #GadgetTalk on #Geocache Talk Network.

I received word from the #CacheCraft team that a few of the #GadgetLid #geocaches sold. Also a little jealous their demo videos are so much better than mine. ๐
The modular #geocache lids, or #GadgetLids, are now for sale from the #CacheCraft crew! Check their site (www.cachecraftnj.com) for more information or visit my Printables / Maker World page to download the base models and design your own!
I've seen the inverse, but never this upcycled version!
Looks like part of the work is already done for the Sliders remote.

Getting hype. #GagdetCache #Geocache
I skipped the AMS on the mini, it looked too unwieldy and big. Plus I really don't have a place for the A1m itself let alone it's external AMS.
I was too lazy to get an extension cord from the basement, but not so lazy as to not haul my 30lb battery out of a nearby closet.
Initial calibration on my freshly unpacked @bambulabglobal.bsky.social A1 Mini, I'll need to find it a permanent home closer to its older and larger brother the X1 once it's done.
Always a good project
